three year old goes cross eyed

do you really have to have surgery for eye care or go it depends?

[Michael J Kutryb, MD]

For children with crossed eyes - it represents a real problem - will not go away on its own and can be treated with glassses or surgery and often a combination of the two.  Patching or special drops are sometimes needed if amblyopia (lazy eye) exists.  Please see a pediatric ophthalmologist.
